    OT: NY Mets 2025 Season Thread

    Agree - King is key and if Cease somehow returns. But sometimes you make deals based on where the team is at the time: Cubs trade Cease and Eloy Jimenez for Quintana in 2017. The only reason the Cubs get to their third straight NLCS with a chance to go back to the WS that year was Quintana. He...

    I didn't realize that. Saw them recently and all looked pretty good. But you also have to factor in the circumstances of when they made the deal and the return they eventually got from the Yankees for him too.

    Big Ten helmets...and uniforms, ranked worst to best. Guess who won (lost)

    This is a stupid ranking. He keeps bringing up program history - either you're looking at the design or the history. Penn State's helmets suck, but he has them ranked high because of their history. If they were mediocre or sucked over time, everyone would hate those helmets and they would be...

    OT: Sly Stone dead

    Yeah, I am a Deadhead and I’m always amazed by the number of younger fans who have never seen Jerry live or who were born after he died still want to see the music live through Dead and Company or tribute bands. Led Zeppelin comes to mind too. Heard a live performance by LZ from Oklahoma City on...

    What do we know about Mr. Brown? I am thinking it was just GS and Butler deciding that change was good for both and they wanted to make an announcement before the fiscal year begins when these things all come out anyway.

    Latin?! Blast from the past. They did away with it at my HS by the time I got there, but I think if they could find people to teach it, it was still valuable. The weekly Latin prefix and suffix quizzes I had in bio class helped with my vocabulary development over the years.

    Clay Holmes is one of best stories of this baseball season. Guy gets removed as closer and is completely vilified across town only to get paid and become a solid starter. That’s baseball Susan…😂

    Long, Dark Winter Ahead for Rutgers Men's Basketball? Don't Bet On It.

    If we get a gritty roster that busts its *** like Pike’s first couple of years I will be engaged. This past season was one of my least favorite over 50+ years of rooting for Rutgers basketball.

    I wouldn’t say I loved some of those days, but I love (as you said) watching guys develop and get the most out of their abilities. And I’ll add a crazy thought - get a degree too. It wasn’t that long ago.
